Want to garden, dine or read outdoors
without having to slap at pesky mosquitoes? Load
a geraniol cartridge into this battery-powered
repeller, set on a table or railing, and turn it on.
Geraniol (geranium oil) repels insects 400% more
effectively than citronella — including mosquitoes,
gnats and the dreaded no-see-ums — yet smells
pleasant to humans.

I am plagued by no-seeums in the spring and summer. Even at night when in bed. I know I could sleep with the windows closed BUT that doesn't help with the ones that get trapped inside. This repeller works pretty well. I say pretty well because I still have been bit but not nearly as bad. The small fan inside is barely audible and the scent in very mild. I put it right on my bedside table. The only thing I wished it had included is an AC adapter. You can purchase one seperately (at a Radio Shack, I think) but I would have paid a little more to plug it directly in the wall. Overall though, I am pleased.

I had some outdoor yard work to do. Specifically replace a bolt on a shed here in Clearwater FL. I figured it would be a good relatively confined outdoor area to test this device out. IT FAILED MISERABLY. They ignored it! Since I did not have on any mosquito repellent (wanted to give device a true test) the only use of the device was to swat and kill them on my arms and legs. It makes a lousy swatter too. Also to give you an idea of how totally useless this device is while I was working quite a few mosquitos ended up in my SUV. After I go tired of sharing my vehicle with them I stopped to get something to eat. I figured that if I left 1 window open and this device on I would at least come back to a mosquito free vehicle. It did not happen. When I returned there were just as many as when I left. IN SHORT DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE. I am going to recommend to Gardener's Supply that they stop selling it. I have been very happy with the other products of theirs, and selling this useless waste of money is bad for their reputation.

I live in FL and my screened in lanai allows untold numbers of no-see-ums through. This product seems to keep them away while I'm out there. I'm thinking of buying more for inside my house, as they're there, too. I'm not sure I love the aroma the device puts out, but that's a personal preference. I haven't tried it on walks yet, but plan to. I'm also not sure about the 130 hours of usage. We shall see.
